Abstract

A turbofan engine includes a turbine engine having a rotatable fan and a generator. The generator further includes a main machine, an exciter, and a generator control unit for controlling the excitation of the main machine. A rotor assembly is located within one of the blades, and a stator assembly that is along a rotational path of the rotor assembly whereby the operation of the turbine engine rotates the fan, which rotates the rotor assembly along its rotational path past the stator assembly to generate electricity.
